If you own and operate an orchard, you are a PCBU.
If you own but don’t operate an orchard, you may or may not be a PCBU. For example, where:
- an orchard management company is contracted to undertake all activities associated with the management of the land, production and harvest of fruit; or
- bare land is leased to a third party.
NZKGI and Zespri created guidance material to help growers understand their obligations as a PCBU.
The guidance includes a decision tree to help you understand whether you are the PCBU (you may not be), and the key steps to hazard and risk management:
- understanding whether you are PCBU
- step 1: identify the hazards
- step 2: size up the risks – machinery, people, property
- step 3: manage the risk – guideline plan, checklist for growers and contractors to discuss
- step 4: monitor and control
